Founder profile

Creating practical pathways for inclusion and participation

Dr. Margaret Fagboyo is a respected development practitioner, governance advocate, and social inclusion expert with decades of experience spanning international development, public sector governance, policy engagement, institutional strengthening, and civic leadership.

Her professional journey reflects a lifelong commitment to advancing equitable development, strengthening institutions, promoting inclusive governance, and creating opportunities for vulnerable and underserved populations.

Her vision for IPADEV was shaped by years of engagement with communities, institutions, policymakers, and development actors. Through these experiences, she observed that many people remain excluded not because they lack potential, but because they lack access, representation, support systems, and opportunities.

Under her leadership, IPADEV is being positioned as a values-driven organization committed to ethical leadership, inclusive development, institutional accountability, strategic partnerships, and measurable social impact.
